Myelf and Blackice fishing went to meadowlark today up on the big horns and we did really well, we each got a limit of nice rainbows to smoke tomoro and we turned back about 3 limits to swim free

It was a really nice day and I will try and get some pics on here tomoro. The bait of choice was a mix of PK's and pink jigs with a pink blood worm body in about 10 fow. ice is 7 inches of good hard ice and about 10 inches of snow on top. We had a blast and will be doin it again soon I hope lol

What part of the lake? At the boat ramp at sitting bull or over by the ski area?

jasonfishn · « **Reply #2 on:** Nov 30, 2012, 08:21 AM »

Rite off the boat ramp there is water on top the ice cuz of so much snow but its good to go

Were your jigs tipped with worm or waxies? Myself and a buddy from work are headed up on monday for the day.

jasonfishn · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 02, 2012, 09:04 AM »

We used wax worms and some on pk's not tipped

byron basser · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 02, 2012, 09:37 AM »

Do'nt be afraid to take some worms up there. Growing up in Ten Sleep fished there often. Sometimes worms were the only bait that they would look at.

jasonfishn · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 02, 2012, 09:46 AM »

Ya we tried some but didnt have any takers, I know they work well in the summer for sure

I would love to go up and fish this weekend. Have to kill a few whitetail deer up that way first before I can ice fish.

jasonfishn · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 04, 2012, 03:25 PM »

Haha ya I need to kill some tails myself I should fo that this days off but it may wait till my next 3

byron basser · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 04, 2012, 07:58 PM »

Or you could do what I did. Did not pull the trigger during deer season then 4 days after season was over took one out with my car.

Just out of curiosity what the rule one minnows up there are they allowed or no?

Tayreel · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 06:10 PM »

The fishing regs lists the bodies of water that minnow are allowed on if i remember right. So if its not on the list then minnows are a no go!

wyo969 · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 07:37 PM »

That's kinda what I was thinking I couldn't find anything in he regs on up there

Tayreel · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 07:48 PM »

http://wgfd.wyo.gov/web2011/Departments/Fishing/pdfs/WYFISHINGREGS_1213_BROCHURE0000715.pdf page 27. Each area of the state, states at the end with what areas baitfish are permitted. And in both areas, on both sides of the Bighorns, neither list Meadowlark as being permitted. The list i was thinking about earlier is the one that mentions what bodies of water have special ice fishing regulations. Hope this helps.

wyo969 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 08:15 PM »

I found the same same thing earlier today when I looked. It's ok thanks for the effort though.

byron basser · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 08:33 PM »

I do believe they are not allowed. The Big Horn River and some of the lakes in the Big Horn Basin minnows are allowed.

jasonfishn · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 09:38 PM »

none allowed up there

mittenclamman · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 06, 2012, 10:36 PM »

who all is going to head that way Sunday? I think we might bring atleast 2 but maybe a pickup load up there and see if we still have the magic hard water fishing touch

fishm_n · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 09, 2012, 01:40 AM »

Do you guys ever pull any real big trout out of there??

also is the ski area open??

pokefan1 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 09, 2012, 08:48 AM »

The ski area is open. I believe they opened this weekend. I personally never have caught any real big trout out of there but the fishing fantastic on smaller brookies and rainbows. I would imagine there are some nice browns in there if a person gets lucky enough to tie in to one!
